Dammann Frères Advent 2021 – Day 7

DF is nailing it with the passion fruit flavouring. It’s a nice mix of honey-like citrus and tropical fruit notes, with an increasingly zesty, warm ginger as the tea cools. As a huge fan of lime, ginger, and tropical fruits I approve. I’d love to pick up more of this to try as a cold brew. Or just drink it like this.

Steep Count: 2

Flavors: Citrus, Ginger, Grass, Honey, Lemon, Lime, Passion Fruit, Spicy, Sweet, Tropical, Wood

Preparation
175 °F / 79 °C 3 min, 0 sec

Passion fruit for the win!

Love this one! The ginger and lime are so nice with the passion fruit.

Crowkettle

This and the Carcadet Passion Framboise are just wow on the passion fruit front. Didn’t know what I was missing!

Evol Ving Ness

Wait till you discover Noel a Pekin!

Crowkettle

….

I don’t think that’s part of this years advent… Brb.

Evol Ving Ness

No, I don’t think it is, but passionfruit.

Crowkettle

Yeah, I’ve composed a DF passion fruit shopping cart that I know is not going to be explored during the advent. Whoops.

Evol Ving Ness

It’s only three, right? Very reasonable.

Bio

I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.

My favourites are teas like Milk Oolong, Silver Needle,and Japanese Sencha/Gyokuro, or fruity and floral flavoured ones. However, I generally enjoy ALL the teas, including a good old cup of Earl Grey or Breakfast blend.

FAVOURITE INGREDIENTS/NOTES:

DESSERT FLAVOURS

Less Preferred Flavours/Ingredients:

Subjective Rating System:
I don’t give a lot of low ratings out, since a) I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me, and b) I don’t have a lot of strong dislikes.

90-100: Favourites. The Desert Island Teas.
80-89: Loved teas. Possibly staple-worthy.
70-79: Good teas, but I’m less likely to repurchase. Minor quibbles.
60-69: Ok teas. Likely a few preference and/or quality issues.
50-59: Cup of meh. Will do in a pinch.
11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea.
1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, an unholy abomination. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.
